Subject:   ATA Slave Devices

I have 2 devices that will not work as slaves. They are a CD-RW drive 
and an IDE tape drive. They both work fine as masters. They give a message

ATA identify retries exceeded

during the boot.

I have tried different combinations of masters and slaves and different 
cables. The bios recognizes them as slaves.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thanks.
